On this episode of the Sustainable Dish Podcast I speak to Jason Rowntree and Paige Stanley from Michigan State University. Jason and Paige just published the paper- Impacts of soil carbon sequestration on life cycle greenhouse gas emissions in Midwestern USA beef finishing systems. We discuss the results of their paper, the impact of grazing livestock specifically- Adaptive Multi-Paddock Grazing , and why eating meat may be not as bad for the environment as we think.

Hello!
Very nice podcast, thank you so much!
I was wondering if the authors included the emissions coming from transportation of the feed in the feedlot case. Typically, at least here in Spain where I live,a large percentage of the grain used to feed cattle comes from overseas, since we don’t have a large soy production industry. I think if this factor was included the emissions for the feedlot case would increase significantly, wouldn’t they?
Thanks again. Keep the good work!
Monica.
Typically in a life cycle analysis, these are factored in. Link to the actual study is in the post!
